Brighton and Hove’s housing is as diverse as the city itself — Regency townhouses and conversions along the seafront, Victorian and Edwardian terraces climbing the hills through Hanover, Elm Grove, and Preston Park, inter-war semis across Patcham and Withdean, post-war housing in Moulsecoomb and Bevendean, and modern developments on the edges of the city. Each property type presents different electrical challenges, and finding an electrician who understands the specific demands of the property you live in makes the difference between a job done properly and one that causes problems later.
We provide domestic electrical services across Brighton, Hove, and the surrounding Sussex area. Whether it’s a full rewire on a Victorian terrace, a consumer unit upgrade on a seafront conversion, an EV charger on a driveway in Patcham, new lighting throughout a family home in Hove, an EICR on a rental flat, or a fault that needs diagnosing and fixing — the standard of service is the same every time.
All our work is carried out to current BS 7671 standards, fully tested, and certified. We’re registered with a competent person scheme, meaning we self-certify all notifiable work. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
Central Brighton and the seafront are home to some of the city’s most distinctive properties — Regency townhouses converted into flats, period buildings with multiple residential units, and listed properties where electrical work must be carried out with sensitivity to the building’s heritage. Wiring in these properties has often been modified repeatedly over a century or more, creating non-standard installations that need experienced handling. We carry out rewires, consumer unit upgrades, lighting installations, and general electrical work throughout central Brighton, understanding the complexities that period conversions and listed buildings present and the care needed to work within their constraints.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces climbing the hills through Hanover, Elm Grove, and Preston Park form some of Brighton’s most sought-after residential streets. These properties share common electrical characteristics — solid brick walls with traditional plaster, original or partially updated wiring that’s approaching the end of its reliable life, consumer units that predate modern safety standards, and socket provision that falls well short of what modern households demand. We work regularly across all three areas, carrying out rewires, consumer unit upgrades, additional circuits, EV charger installations, and lighting upgrades that bring these characterful properties up to current standards without compromising their period features.
Hove and Portslade offer a mix of Regency and Victorian properties near the seafront, Edwardian and inter-war family housing along the residential avenues, and post-war estates and newer developments further inland. The variety means the electrical work we carry out ranges from complete rewires on older properties with original wiring to consumer unit upgrades and EV charger installations on more modern housing. We work across both areas regularly, handling the full range of domestic electrical services. The larger family homes along Hove’s residential avenues often require more extensive electrical work — additional circuits for home offices, comprehensive lighting schemes, and EV charger installations.
Patcham, Withdean, and Rottingdean sit on the northern and eastern edges of the city, offering established inter-war and post-war family housing on quieter residential streets alongside village properties with period character. Many homes across these areas have electrical installations that were adequate when fitted but now need attention — consumer units without RCD protection, lighting circuits on outdated cable, and socket provision that doesn’t meet modern demands. EV charger installations are increasingly popular across all three areas as the larger properties with driveways suit dedicated home charging well. We carry out the full range of electrical services, delivering the same quality on the edges of the city as in the centre.

Our regular coverage includes central Brighton, the seafront, Hanover, Elm Grove, Preston Park, Fiveways, Hollingbury, Hollingdean, Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, Kemptown, Whitehawk, Woodingdean, Rottingdean, Saltdean, and Peacehaven to the east.
